Substitute for Condensed Milk?
I was watching I was watching America's Test Ktchen-Cooks Country today
and they had a recipe for a key lime pie. It uses a large(14 oz) can of sweetened condensed milk in the filling. Much of the rest of the filling ingredients are easily made or are low carb friendly(lime juice, cream cheese, a little gelatin,a little vanilla pudding and some sugar). Have any of you ay idea how to make swweetened evaporated mlk to substitute. How much artificial sweetener would be needed and could you just mix it in a 14oz can or would you hae to reduce the amount of milk as you do bitter chocolate if you are making it a replacement for a sweetened chocolate? It might be fun to try this wit a nut, rather than a grahm cracker crust for a different treat. They also had a mile high lemon meringue pie with a custard I might use with regular meringue make with an artifcial sweetener-not the Italian meringue with sugar syrup that they used. It would not be mile high, just a few feet:-) Wendy |

Splenda and heavy cream might be the best substitutes, but sweetened condensed milk is definitely a no-no for us. You could possibly use regular condensed milk (unsweetened) and add splenda to that.

I do low carb pumpkin pie with the cream and Splenda, with a straight substitution in the recipe on the pumpkin can (well, added Splenda, to account for the sweetness in the condensed milk). -- "[xxx] has very definite opinions, and does not suffer fools lightly.

I now know that 5-7 oz of the baking chocolate works correctly and is not overpowering. Wendy |

oh i saw that episode..love that show...that and alton browns good eats are
my always in my cooking heart. ive liked using powder milk in recipes it does help with thexture. Altho the recipe is no cook you could cook elements of it...perhaps cooking the gelatin with milk and vanilla and splenda over a double boiler? oh ive also had success making cream type pies by cooking the egg and cream or milk and splenda over a double bioler to make a custard then as it cooling i whip egg whites and fold it in to raise/thicken it then once that cooled i whip cream and fold that in and chill it in the fridge. so far ive made french silk pie and cooconut cream pies and a lemon pie that way and the results were delicious so much so my picky wife ate them...well she liked the cocolnuts taste but not the bits of coconut..lol..she wont eat german chocolate cake cause of the coconut either...heh KROM "W.

xantham gum works well and to me is flavorless..im just not good on the

from reading this the ff half and half will probably higher than the regular

Sugar-free, fat-free sweetened condensed milk This version of sweetened condensed milk makes the equivalent of a 12-ounce can. 1 teaspoon cornstarch 1 tablespoon cold water 1 cups dry nonfat milk powder cup water cup Splenda 1 teaspoon vanilla Combine cornstarch and cold water in a small dish. In a microwave-safe container, stir together milk powder and cup water. Cover and microwave 45 seconds, or until hot but not boiling. Stir in cornstarch slurry and microwave for 10 to 15 seconds longer, until thick. Stir in Splenda and vanilla thoroughly. Chill for a minimum of 2 hours before using. |
